Sense Making


This week we were learning about “Sense Making”, we had to write what we infer and see in the picture. In the 2nd slide, there are 2 pictures and that we had to write what we see and infer! In the 3rd, 4th and 5th slide are about writing about what our statement is or what we infer in the passage or what the conclusion is about. Also in the 6th slide, there was an error in the slide, the link to the book was not working. So, there is nothing in the 6th slide!

Angles!

This week we were learning about angle. Me and my maths group, the Milwaukee Bucks grabbed our maths book and our big book to our Mr Moran’s desk. We learnt about other angles call “right angle”, “acute angle”, “obtuse angle”, “reflex angle” and “straight angle”. We know that a right angle is exactly 90 degrees! acute angle is less than 90 degrees, obtuse angle is always lager than 90 degrees but less than 180 degrees. A reflex angle is more than 180 degrees, and a straight angle, is a straight as line! equal to 180 degrees. So, our first maths activity was to predict the angles that our teacher drew. We had to write the degrees to each angle, we had to estimate!

6 Photos


This week we were reading a book called “Six Photos”, this book is about some old photos back in the 1850s. There is six old photos and that the photos are from the Alexander Turnbull Library, photos that were captured in the History of New Zealand and Pacific! we had to answer some questions about the old photos, the meaning and the story behind it!

Geometry Garden

We are describing the different parts of our garden and what geometry features they show. 
What type of symmetry do your flowers have? In my garden my flowers have a reflective symmetry and rotational symmetry.

This means that my flowers have 4 lines of reflective symmetry, and you can rotate my flowers 8 times. It will still look the same! 

What type of symmetry does your butterfly have?   In my garden my butterfly has a reflective symmetry. 

This means that my butterfly has 1 line of reflective symmetry! And it still looks the same, if you cut it half.

Pathway

What geometry feature does your pathway show? 

What did you do to make sure the pathway?

In my garden my pathway shows that it has a tessellation.

To make my pathway I add some yellow and green triangles, and rotate it a bit. Then, I kept doing it as a pattern. Also, there must be no gaps and no overlaps too.   

This means that my pathway is repeating yellow and green triangles, together. No gaps and no overlaps! 

Task Description: This week we are learning reflection symmetry, rotational symmetry, translation and tessellation! I learnt that a circle has infinity lines of reflection symmetry. Also, my best part of Geometry is when Mr Moran shows us clockwise and anticlockwise in the whiteboard. I can sometimes forget what a clockwise and anticlockwise is.

Sentences 2


This week we did sentences again! the pictures were a big blue monster and a door. In the 2nd slide, we had to correct the sentences again by adding the proper punctuation and capital letters in the sentences. Next in the 3rd slide, there was a picture of a big blue monster. We had to write three sentences about the picture of the big blue monster. Then in the 4th slide, there was a picture of a door open. We had to write three sentences that describes what we see as you went though the door, mine is pretty funny and crazy!

Sentences


This week we writing sentences that matches the picture! in the 2nd slide, we had to correct the sentences by adding a proper punctuation and capital letters in the sentences. Next in the 3rd slide, there was a picture of a boy running. We had to write three sentences about the boy running. Then in the 4th slide, there is was a picture of a child peeking though of the fence. So, we had to write three sentences about a child peeking though the fence!
